Pros

It works for the most part. It was cheap. It Comes with 3 interchangeable face plates to match grey, silver and black PC's. The SD Card Flash Card & USB slots work well. The Flash card reader works with some of my older flash cards from late 1990s.

This card reader brezes through the reading & copying of info from flash cards from early 2001 and a couple from the later half of 2012 It easly read and retrieved the info off my newer cards but it slows down considerably if I am reading more than 2 older cards at a time.

I like how well it reads these older Flash cards even if I do have to insert the cards upside down and from right to left. It recognized my Micro SD cards in the SD card slot when using a Micro SD to SD card slot adapter. It readily recognizes My micro SD Cards in the USB Slot when plugging them in, in the Micro USB Card reader.

I loved how fast the User Support From Syba Customer Service was when I sent in a review and a complaint about this product of theirs.. They offered the usuall suggestions & that I try those things to see if I could get the Micro SD card slot to read my micro card.

Unfortunatly nothing they suggested worked & since I only have the One 32GB Micro SD card to test. I feel that this card reader is not worth requesting a RMA to return it to Syba or to Ncix. The reason I say that is because the shipping and handling charges to return this card reader are more than the card reader cost me in the first place.

Since this Micro SD card does not read on this card reader and reads fine on my tablet and in my brothers PC card reader. I feel that this could be something as simple. I am using a cheap generic brand of a Micro SD card. One that just might be incompatable with this reader.

It could also have something to do with that this card is slightly warped when compared to other cards of it's type. Fortunatly for me it is capable of being read in the SD slot with an adaptor and in the USB slot with the cards provided usb card reader.

That way I was able to recover my photos, important documents plus my videos that where store don the card from my trip to Island.

ConsMicro SD Card Slot doesn't work with my card. If I had another Micro SD Card I would try to test it to see if it really is the slot thats is the problem or just my warped card.

The Flash Card works but it needs to be inserted from right to left & upside down.

I do not like that the Bright Red LED never turns it's self off. Except when the PC is powered off. This LED is bright enough to light up the entire living room in the middle of the night.

No need for a flash light with this led. The Problem of the overly bright led was solved with a piece of papper, a black jiffy marker and a piece of packing tape. Now there is no more bright red led blinding me as I work at the pc.

SummaryI have had worse Card readers. I would certainly buy this card reader again but I would only purchass it at a reduced sales price. I would not even think twice about buying this card reader if they have it on sale for 40-50% off. I can see myself buying 5 or more of these card readers as gifts for friends and family members if NCIX ever decides to put this on sale for 60%.or more off the retail price..

I don't like that the Micro SD slot refused to read my Micro Sd Cards.Nor did I like that the Flash card has to be inserted ubside down and from right to left in order for the card reader to read from it

I don't like that the Red LED is lit at all times.Except when the PC is powered off. It is very bright. but a piece of Masking tape or a black marker should fix that problem in a jiffy.

Originally I gave this Item 3 out 5 stars.But thanks to a fast responce from Syba Customer Service to my E-mail & with their attempt to solve the issues I was having, I feel that I rated this item far to low. So I have adjusted my review to 4 out of 5 stars.

I paid 7 dollars for this with free shipping at that price it was worth taking a risk to buy it, had this card reader turned out to be garbage I would not be out that much money.

In My Humble Opinion this card reader & Usb Port is well worth buying just as long as you can get it at a reduced sales price. It was delivered in a nice box with the name Connectland.Eu on it. It is listed on the Connectland website as a 3.5’’ INTERNAL CARD READER Code.3601072 LECT-MUL-CAR-PS2090 Gencode:3700284612162 and for a price slightly higher than what NCIX is asking.

This is a Syba & Connectland product. In my humble opinion this memorey card reader is well worth buying just not for the full 10 dollar price. If you can buy this for 4-7 dollars with free or very low shipping rate then it truely is a good bargain.

But this long winded review is just my opionion, someoneelse on here may feel that this is a excellent 3.5" internal card reader and well worth the full 10 dollar price Plus additional shipping & handling costs... Rick Frog
